03 September 2012 whatever expense incurred by the assessee for acquisition of a property should be included in the cost of acquisition. So both of these expenses should be considered while calculating cost of acquisition.

04 September 2012 The concept of stam duty is given in the Indian Stam Act. The requisite amount of stamp is required to be paid/used/affixed; as the case may be at the time of regostration of documents. Registration charges are in addition to this stamp duty. Now let me know what is your query.
